The Journey Continues:Pet Scan Results

Today ended up being quite the long day.  We started out on time and my car has a mind of it's own and decided that it needed to reduce the engine speed because it thought it was slick and hazardous.  We were not out of Enid yet and Richard said maybe we should go back and take the pickup but I said no that it would be okay.  The car had done this before.  Very irritating but it usually runs fine.  We got almost to Perry when the car just quit.  I got it off of the road and then it wouldn't budge.  The key wouldn't even turn. We called the insurance guy to see if we had towing on our insurance and we don't but he did give Richard two numbers of two truck garages in Perry.  Richard was dialing the first number and I decided to try to start it one more time.  This time it started and we did make it to Richard's appointment and we were in time for the appointment but late for blood work.  We finally saw the Doctor after four.

She started out by telling us that most of Richard's blood work was good.  His creatitin levels were up to 2.0 but she didn't seem to think that it was a big deal.  She then gave us the results of the pet scan.  There were spots on the scan but she is not sure what they are.  The one on the chest is still there and it is bigger,  There also are two more that are bigger than the one on the chest and they are on the left side under the clavicle.  She said that they could be cancer, a fungal infection or graft/vs/host problems.  They are going to try to do a biopsy in the next two to three weeks.  She is having the CD of the pet scan fed exed to her so that she and the radiologist there can study it to see if one of the spots will be big enough to biopsy.  She said that there are options for all three scenarios.

It was almost 6:30 when we got back home.  We are both tired physically and emotionally and covet your prayers.  God is in control and He is good all the time!!
